Chapter 282 Telephone number leaked
This is the first time Noven has encountered a magic that he cannot copy.
Use the metaphor of cooking.
He has now mastered the recipe proficiently, knowing every step and every detail.
However, there are no ingredients.
Although the effect of [Illusion Magic] to tamper with cognitive information is achieved by relying on the magic network, there is an indispensable element in it, and that is the divine blessing of the goddess of illusion.
In a sense, Nuowen can be regarded as experiencing the kind of feeling that mortals in this world once experienced.
No matter how proficient mortals are at mastering prayers, rituals, etc., as long as they are not blessed by the gods, the result will be that the magic will be ineffective and the use will fail.
This is where Nuowen was surprised.
Because when he dissected and observed the operation process of this magical technique from the spiritual level.
He completed the casting part of everything, right down to the step of "asking the Goddess of Illusions for permission to use her divine power."
And then - it got stuck!
Yes.
When Novin tried to use magic, the entire "framework" of [Illusion Magic] had been set up, and the magic network was connected through the key information corresponding to the arcane energy, ready to respond to Novin's call.
Everything is ready, all that is needed is divine power.
Novin was sure that he was not rejected by the goddess of illusion.
"Ask permission" step.
If consent is obtained, which is how Noven copied other gods' magical spells in the past, the next step is to receive the divine power from other gods, fill up the framework's divine power, and then successfully cast the spell.
If rejected, although this has not happened before, Noven can infer based on the mechanism of divine spell casting that he should receive a message that the request has been rejected.
When trying [Illusion Magic], Noven encountered the third situation.
No divine power is sent;
He did not reject the message;
His "request for permission to use divine power" was continuously sent to the goddess of illusion, but all the requests were stuck at the goddess of illusion!
Neither agreed nor refused, but stuck!
Noven could find the most vivid metaphor. He felt that this was a bit like... dialing the other party's phone number!
When he passed by, he dialed the number of another god. The other god answered the phone and agreed, and immediately sent his divine power.
If he fails to get permission, the other party will directly hang up his call.
This time the situation is - the number is dialed, but "Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unanswered"!
Noven can continue to maintain the framework of this [Illusion Magic]. In this state, messages requesting permission are constantly being sent to the Goddess of Illusion, but there is still no movement from the other party.
"No, the goddess of illusion is asleep? Has she turned on the do not disturb mode in her kingdom?"
Nuowen was a little confused.
He is also a god, and he also uses his authority to create some "magic arts".
So Noven knew how it would feel when others tried to use these magical arts and sent him "asking for permission".
It really feels like dialing a phone number.
When believers recite prayers and follow the corresponding ritual actions, Novin will immediately receive reminders simultaneously.
This "reminder" is like muscle memory, conditioned reflex, and body instinct. Novin can't ignore it even if he wants to.
Either agree to give permission, or refuse to give permission or even, in fact, theoretically speaking.
Even if a mortal does not join the Church of Knowledge and is not a believer of Novan, if he can complete the magical ritual according to the corresponding requirements, Nowin can still receive the reminder!
Noven is not sure whether this is because he is an evil god, or whether it is the same for all gods.
Of course, at this stage, even if Novan wants to allow those mortals who have not dedicated their faith to him and give them the authority to use his own magic, Novan cannot do it.
Novin has observed and analyzed many details.
The process of transmitting information or divine power between gods and gods is different from that between gods and mortals.
The gray fog that permeates the Kingdom of God will assimilate and destroy the information transmitted to mortals in Novin's magic.
Only those mortals who have truly established a relationship of faith can fully receive the oracle message from Novan, which is the so-called "divine magic taking effect."
For those believers who truly believe in the God of Knowledge, when Noven transmits information to them, the information goes through the channel of divine power, and the divine power protects the channel so that the information will not be assimilated and destroyed by the gray mist.
Although other mortals, Noven, can complete the lock through the opponent's ritual actions, the information transmitted at this time has no protection and will naturally be affected by the gray mist.
The point is:
"Why is the Goddess of Illusion ignoring me? Isn't it annoying to him that I keep sending messages asking for permission?"
This is what Nouwen finds most incomprehensible.
After several territories belonging to the Church of Seeking Knowledge were opened to the outside world, among the adventurers and mercenaries who came into contact with the Church of Seeking Knowledge, there were some clever little ones who tried to secretly learn the "Magic of Seeking Knowledge", and then tried to chant prayers by themselves, intending to have a chance. Luck depends on whether you can get a response from "Novin, the God of Knowledge".
After all, there is indeed a way in this world. Instead of participating in the conversion ceremony in the church corresponding to the god, you can establish a faith connection with the god just by praying on your own.
For example, this is the case with the Magic Goddess.
The ritual steps, requirements, and prayer formats for offering faith to the Goddess of Magic are public and known to mortals throughout the continent.
The problem is simply that after you offer your faith, the goddess of magic may not respond and bless you. In fact, she may not accept your faith and offerings at all.
These clever ghosts tried to privately perform the ritual of offering their faith to the God of Knowledge, which was similar to the operation of offering their faith to the Goddess of Magic. They took a gamble, what if it happened?
But to Novin, this is like having his phone number leaked and someone making harassing calls!
Every time a smart guy appears, Novan will be harassed again.
If he accepts the other party's request to offer his faith, he will have to consume the number of believers he obtained through perfect permission.
Just refuse. His "rejection" message can't be conveyed to that mortal, and the other party might come to harass him every three days.
That's why Noven entrusted all kinds of [knowledge-seeking magic] related to him to the custody of divine creations.
Except for the mortals he pays special attention to, everyone else will follow the test mechanism of the contribution value ranking.
If the conditions are met, it will be automatically accepted; if the conditions are not met, it will be automatically rejected.
Save your worries and rest your mind, lest Novan himself would be harassed all the time.
But the goddess of illusion seems to be letting you harass her, without any fear at all.
No matter how many messages Nouwen sent asking for permission, she never responded.
